Hatogaya-honchō mit dem Fahrrad

This is a very interesting route that has a lot of scenic spots, you can’t help but stop to take a quick picture of Mt.Fuji in the distance or the gates of the various temples. The route is very flat, it’s very popular too so expect some foot traffic, there are a few bumpy sections especially around the 3K mark and along the 5K to 6K mark but their are alternative roads that go along perpendicular to the route, you just sacrifice the view a little.  I ended this route at the train track crossing but you can go further just expect a lot of narrow paths and stops at crossroads, I cycled beyond the crossing only once on a rainy evening so it was pretty clear of traffic but I can see it being busy on a sunny day and you may have to travel at a snails pace or you may upset some walkers along the narrow sections, it’s just something to keep in mind or note about.

Mostly flat with quiet roads, between cycling under beautiful trees with the river next to you there are areas of open farmlands with a great view of Saitama Shintoshin skyscrapers in the far distance. It is a very scenic and calm route.
